Morphology

instalike = like (semi-transparent) = insta + like

Informal clipping 'insta-' + noun 'like' yields a readily inferable meaning for many learners, but it is colloquial.

Etymology

Instalike comes from instant ('happening immediately') + like ('a sign of approval'), and it means something so good that people give it a 'like' as soon as they see it online. So an instalike is a post or photo that gets instant 'likes'.
